With all of the hullabaloo in the world, it would be nice to get back to midwestern sensibilities.

Midwestern Endorsement: Reese's Puff and More Junky Cereal

When I was a freshman in college, my roommate was a cereal junkie. Her enthusiasm about the cereal bar at the college cafeteria remained for not only breakfast, but lunch and dinner too. Sometimes, she'd mix it up and make a cereal suicide...you know, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. She would eat cereal in our room and spill bits of cereal on the floor. If she was missing, all I had to do was follow the Corn Pops.

Cereal has always been very low on my love of food scale, but I am experiencing a cereal renaissance. Each week, Tim and I will buy a new box of cereal and see what we think. We do classics like Cheerios and new flavors like the Honey Bunches of Oats with Chocolate Clusters. By the way...very good.

Now I know, my roommate was much brighter than I gave her credit for at the time. Cereal is a staple food in our household now. I have to say, I like the kids cereals that are chocolatey and not healthy at all. I am now looking at cereal as dessert, especially the Reese's Puffs. I know. I know. It is ridiculous for a 31 year old to like this cereal.

Oh, no. Not ridiculous at all. I myself am a big fan of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch. I like it so much that when I'm done, I add more cereal instead of drinking the milk. Same for Honey Bunches of Oats. I used to be a huge Cracklin' Oat Bran fan, but now, not so much. It was my favorite on my college cereal bar- I liked it with strawberry yogurt.
